This is the first of a 13-chapter vintage serial The Planet of Peril. This classic has some laughable but classic special effects that where pretty amazing in its time. Please sit back and enjoy!
Buster Crabbe as Flash Gordon
Jean Rogers as Dale Arden
The show starts out with panic in the streets as the world is undergoing devastating attack from Ming. Flash Gordon and Dale Arden are aboard a plane. The plane falls into trouble while flying through a meteor shower, where they must bail out. When landing they unexpectedly meet up with Dr. Zarkoff, and board his rocket ship. Upon landing, they encounter giant lizards. Then are captured by Ming's troops and taken to the emperor. Where Flash creates havoc, and ends up having to fight for his life.
This classic is a public domain film. With my love of classic film cartoons, serial's and the many other great films, I have decided to share what I have with others. Hoping to keep a love for the classics in all our hearts. Films like this are quickly becoming extinct, and fewer and fewer people can enjoy them. The special effects of the time are silly compared to todays, but where top notch at the time. It was films like this that stared the worlds love affair with the movies and should be cherished for years to come.
I will put out a new chapter every other day, as close to the same time as possible. If you enjoyed this be looking for the story to continue to its suspenseful final chapter!!
